92 VOCABULARY

VI, 371, All the powerless powers, tongue-valiant, breathe but

greed’s or terror’s breath.

Of:

I, 30, There is no hate that is so hateworthy . . .

IV, 142, ... one love-worthier then than Nimue . . .

III, 329, His bride-worthy bed.

These cases, however, do not necessarily need any
preposition in modern English.

II, 180, Rest, out of sight of our world-weary sun . . .

231, Till time beget and sorrow bear

The soul-sick eyeless child despair

[possibly in; C. D.: rare]

IV, 47, Heart-hungry for the hot-mouthed feast of fight.

[possibly in.]

To:

III, 333, ... To where the keen sea-current grinds and frets

The black bright sheer twin flameless Altarlets
That lack no live blood-sacrifice they crave
Of shipwreck and ihe shrine-subservient wave . . .

For, finally, occurs in the archaic weeping-ripe:

I, 258, . . . then almost weeping-ripe

Crouched, then laughed low . . .

The second type of compounds, that of comparison,
is numerously represented, and rather aptly exemplifies
some of Swinburne’s mannerisms.

As has already been stated (page 91), the substantival
part of such compounds is intended to illustrate the
quality expressed by the adjective. Now, Swinburne very
often only alludes to one of the qualities of the substantive;
and frequently this is not even a primary quality. His
combinations with -white are specially interesting from this
point of view.

-white occurs in the following combinations:

I, 72, White rose of the rose-white water . . .
